I couldn't have asked for a better work family, everyone here is extremely nice. Last weekend I joined the company in a diabetes benefit walk around Kapiolani Park next to Waikiki. Sand volleyball recently became an official NCAA sport, and the UH and HPU women's teams were nearby having at tournament at Queen's Beach Sandbox.
Shortly after I started my job, I woke up feeling a little dizzy one day. Eventually the dizziness progressed into an almost debilitating condition. I've had three doctors appointments since, and haven't been able to enjoy surfing, snorkeling, working out or even just going to the beach. The dizzy spells are awful and I don't wish them upon anyone. I'll spare you the medical details, but it makes it very hard to function sometimes and it can be scary traveling through a big city by yourself when you're disoriented, especially when you don't really know anyone.
Last week I was so out of it I left my backpack at a bus stop. The backpack contained my passport, checks, bike chain, a poncho, my best sweater, and medicine.
Luckily, a person with a good heart found it, and found a receipt with my phone number on it that I just happened to have in the bottom of one of the pockets. When I bought my new iPhone here, the service rep had written my account # and phone # on a blank slip of receipt paper. I met the girl that found my backpack the next day at her work a few blocks over from mine. That night she called me around 11 to ask me if I was single.
There are many things I plan on doing soon that will make great blog entries with great pictures.
First I plan on heading up to check out the north shore of Oahu for a weekend, hopefully next.
Then I would like to hop over to Maui and spend a weekend there on their north shore. Maui has a little bit of everything, and probably the nicest beaches in Hawaii. It has been rated "The Best Island in the World" by numerous publications.
People keep telling me if I'm not a fan of the big city life style, then I would love Maui. I'm looking forward to that experience.
Kauia, known for its tropical rainforests, rivers, cliffs, canyons, and waterfalls, is next on the agenda.
Then maybe I come home to visit Texas. Lots of things I miss about that great state, too many to list now, maybe for another entry.
Fun Fact: Alaska and Hawaii both have the same record high temperature, 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
